Not Enough Escapism

More rich, hot reds at the Garden House.

Too much real life this week.....not enough escapism.

So tonight, because it's cold, I put on my socks, make a cup of cocoa, open a packet of pistachio nuts, curl up on the sofa and watch a DVD - Skyfall  with Daniel Craig and Judy Dench, as 007 and M and the scarily blonde Xavier Bardem as Mr Silver.

And try and forget that Robin stuck a tooth pick in his itchy ear this afternoon in the car park at Tescos.

But keep remembering that this afternoon we also visited a lovely woman and her family.... and dog and cats and chickens .....at her beautiful home near Honiton. In a few weeks time Robin will spend a weekend with them. It's called Shared Lives.....it's called respite......for both of  us.

And now, while he can still hear, I'm going to remind him to put those drops in his ears.
